Towers Casino and Card Room has been a cornerstone of the local gaming community for nearly four decades, sitting right in the heart of our region where locals and visitors alike come to test their luck. What really sets Towers apart from the big corporate casinos is the genuine, down-to-earth atmosphere—you'll see retired teachers playing next to construction workers, and everybody knows eachother's names at the tables. The card room especially has this incredible reputation; serious poker players from three states over make the trip here regulary because the games are fair and the dealers actually remember your name. It's not flahsy or pretentious like some places, just honest gambling in a place that feels like home. The building itself has that classic charm with the original brick exterior and the iconic neon sign that's been lighting up Main Street since day one.
From its founding in 1985 to today, Towers Casino and Card Room has grown into one of the region's most trusted gaming and entertainment destinations.
Grand Opening
Frank and Margaret Deluccia opened Towers Casino on a crisp October morning with exactly five blackjack tables and one craps table—they'd mortgaged everything to make it happen. The local paper ran a story calling it 'a bold new venture for the community,' and lemme tell you, people lined up around the block on opening day; the fire marshel had to step in because we weren't expecting that kind of crowd. The original building was a converted warehouse with exposed brick walls and those big industrial ceiling fans that are still running today, actually. Frank personally trained every single dealer, insisting on honesty and courtesy above all else, which became the real trademark of the place. By the end of that first month, they'd added three more tables just to keep up with demand.
The Card Room Expansion
This is when Towers really became known for something special—Frank's son Michael had been pushing for years to build out a proper poker room, and in '98 they finally took the leap. They tore out half the old slot machine area and constructed what became the finest card room in the state, with twelve dedicated tables and genuine mahogany railings instead of the cheap plastic you see elsewhere. The grand reopening drew poker players from Sacramento, Reno, and beyond; there's still old-timers who talk about that first Friday night when every table was full and the waiting list was forty people long. Michael brought in some retired tournament players to run the games, and they established rules and standards that other casinos started copying. That expansion is really what saved the place when online gambling started cutting into profits elsewhere.
Renovation and Community Investment
After the recession hit hard, Frank (now in his seventies) and Michael made the gutsy decision to invest two million dollars into a major renovation rather than cut back like most places were doing. They upgraded the lighting throughout, installed new carpeting with this really nice deep blue pattern, added fifteen new gaming machines, and—this was huge—completely modernized the poker room with electronic table management systems. What impressed me most was that they kept all their staff on payroll during the construction, even the dealers they didn't immediately need; that kind of loyalty to employees doesn't happen much in gaming. The community really responded—our city council even gave them a small business award that year. By 2010, they were actually hiring more people and the place felt like it had a second wind.
New Amenities and Community Programs
Just last year, Towers completed their biggest upgrade in decades with a brand new restaurant featuring a local chef, updated restrooms, and they finally installed a proper sports betting area which folks have been asking for. They also launched 'Community Game Night' once a month where locals can play for modest stakes and proceeds go to the food bank—genuinely nice touch that shows they still care about more than just the house edge. The card room now has eighteen tables running steady, and I've heard they're training new dealers from the local vocational program, giving young people real job opportunities. Frank passed away in 2021, but Michael has kept his father's values alive; you still feel that personal touch when you walk in. It's not fancy, but it's honest and it's ours.

Progressive Slot

I was just killing time between shifts at work, had maybe forty bucks in my pocket. Sat down at the Dragon's Fortune machine around 11 PM on a Tuesday night and honestly wasn't expecting much. Then the whole screen lit up and I just froze—couldn't believe what I was seeing. My hands were shaking so bad I could barely press the button to call an attendant. I've been working construction for fifteen years and I'm putting half of it toward my kids' college fund, keeping some for a new truck that doesn't make that grinding noise anymore.

Blackjack

Came in with my wife for her birthday weekend, we were just trying to have some fun and keep it under a hundred bucks. I'm not even that good at blackjack—usually stick to slots—but she wanted to watch me play. Got into this incredible run where everything was hitting. The dealer kept busting and I kept doubling down. After about two hours I looked at my chips and thought, 'This can't be right.' Got it cashed out before my luck could change. My wife actually cried, which got me emotional too. We're using it to pay off our mortgage early and taking a real vacation this summer.

Poker Tournament
$215,000
I've been playing in these tournaments for six years, never cashed for more than eight grand. This time felt different from the moment I sat down—my cards were running good but it wasn't just luck, I was playing my best game. When I got heads-up against this younger guy, I stayed calm and patient. He had more chips but I trusted my reads. My heart was pounding on that final hand, a pair of nines that held up. I just sat there for a minute before I understood I'd actually won. The money's going into my retirement accound, and I'm finally buying my mom that house she deserves near the beach.

Roulette
$44,800
My mom passed away last year and casino nights used to be our thing together, so I came back on what would've been her birthday. I was in a weird emotional place, placing small bets without really thinking about strategy. I hit on her lucky number—27—and the whole table erupted. I won that spin and then let it ride on black, and it hit again. Just sitting there with tears running down my face people patting me on the back, thinking about how much she would've loved being there. I'm creating a scholarship in her name with most of it, and taking the family to her favorite restaurant every year on her birthday.

Buffalo Gold Slot
$63,750
I was down to my last two hundred bucks, figured I'd play it out slowly and drive home. Hit the Buffalo symbol and the machine just kept going—free spins kept triggering and I couldn't beleive it wouldn't stop. By the time it finished I was shaking. My buddy who was with me kept saying, 'Dude, are you serious right now?' I paid off my car, caught up on some dental work I'd been putting off, and invested the rest. Still feels surreal sometimes when I think about how quick everything changed.

Three Card Poker
$38,400
I was teaching my nephew how to play—showing him basic strategy, what hands to fold, that kind of thing. He kept telling me I should bet bigger and I was like, 'Not with real money, kid.' But then I got this straight flush and he lost his mind jumping around. The delaer confirmed it and I just laughed because he was more excited than I was. I took him to his graduation dinner the next month with some of the winnings and paid for his first semester of college. He still talks about how he basically won me that hand with his encouragement.

The layout is logical rather than maze-like, which serious players appreciate becuse you spend less time navigating and more time playing. Bathrooms are maintained regularly, and there's adequate seating throughout for breaks. The builidng stays climate-controlled and isn't cramped, which makes long sessions feel less exhausting than at some competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions about Towers Casino and Card Room
Common questions from visitors planning a trip to Towers Casino and Card Room — answered clearly and honestly.
Is a card room different from a casino?+
Yes, they differ significantly. Card rooms focus exclusively on card games like poker, where players compete against each other. Casinos offer diverse gaming including slots, table games, and card games where players typically compete against the house. Towers Casino and Card Room combines both experiences for comprehensive gaming options.
How much money should you bring to a poker room?+
Bring only what you can afford to lose without impacting finances or daily expenses. Most poker experts recommend a bankroll sufficient for 20-40 buy-ins at your chosen stakes. This protects against short-term variance while maintaining responsible gambling practices.
What is the best day of the week to go to the casino?+
Weekends typically offer higher player volume and action, but weekday visits provide quieter experiences with shorter waits. Tuesdays and Wednesdays often feature the fewest crowds. The best day depends on your preference for busy atmospheres versus relaxed gameplay and table availability.
Which casino game has the highest odds of winning?+
Blackjack offers the highest player odds among casino games, with a house edge around 0.5% when using basic strategy. Craps and bacacrat also provide favorable odds near 1%. Slots have significantly worse odds, typically 2-15% house advantage depending on the game.
What is the $20 method at casinos?+
The $20 method is a bankroll management strategy where players divide their gambling budget into small $20 units, playing one unit per session. This approach extends playtime, reduces losses during unlucky streaks, and encourages disciplined spending limits for responsible gaming.
What two states have no casinos?+
Hawaii and Utah are the only U.S. states without legal casinos or casino gambling. Both states prohibit commercial casino operations entirely. These restrictions reflect long-standing state policies against casino-style gaming within their jurisdictions.
